We had such a wonderful experience with their high tea. Their service was immaculate with all the staff going above and beyond with fulfilling the booking requests, helping us take pictures and even filming a video for us, noticing when the sunlight was too hot and bringing the automatic shades down at the windows. The savory items were delicious, we loved the self service sundae, crème brûlée scones, and tea selections.

Beautiful restaurant, fantastic service, very attentive and answered questions about various dishes, very knowledgeable. Our steaks were excellent quality, both cooked to perfection exactly as we asked. Sides were delicious, truffle fries and mushrooms were brilliant accompaniments to our steaks and were so tasty. Our table looked out onto the historic Queen Victoria Building. The staff made a lovely fuss of a 60th birthday celebration meal, which made it extra special. Highly recommended.

Wonderful modern restaurant with huge windows looking out across to the beautiful Queen Victoria Building. Seating is well spaced and the tables generous. The food is well prepared and presented and the flavours are great. Service is top notch, attentive, professional and knowledgeable. During our lunch time seating it was subdued and relaxing. The wine list is extensive and includes a good selection of wine by the glass. Some of the furniture is showing signs of wear which is not in keeping with the overall ambiance.

The food was very nice, I really liked the duck breast and my family liked the food as well. They had very good deserts too. Also, wine selection is decent and you cannot go wrong with it. The vibe and atmosphere was good too. If you ask for a table by window, the view is good towards George street and Queen Victoria Building.

A great find in the middle of the city. We had the Express Lunch which was only $38pp. Included a main and dessert. I had the barramundi which was a generous size and delicious. The steak and fries that my friends had also was delicious they said. The service was so good and the restaurant itself was stunning. A great place for client or staff lunches

Hands down the best restaurant in Sydney! The moment you walk on you are greeted in style , the restaurant atmosphere was divine, the lighting and mood on point and just by looking around you are surrounded with walls of wine and a view to the QVB which is magical.

On the roller coaster of fine dining, this was underwhelming. We were here partly on a voucher, which meant they restricted our menu, but for $240 for the food, I thought we would have better options. Hummus for a starter! Very pedestrian. The barramundi was okay, but I didn't like the broth. Surely, they could do better than shoestring fries & green leaves for sides. The chocolate tart for dessert was a milk chocolate casing filled with melting mousse. It was not great. The wine, which was another $100, were all good selections. We sat in a booth looking at large mirrors, which reflected my disappointment.

I d have the Glass Brasserie for breakfast every morning during my stay at Hilton Sydney. I m a sucker for a good window seat, and the staff went out of their way to accommodate me every time! Food was plentiful and slightly varied every morning and would always set my day right! Shout out to Naomi for the exceptional service she went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of! I love the kindness of the Australian people and this has only furthered that belief!

Food and service was impeccable. The seating however... needs working on. The chairs are so low, when I was seated (on a lounge) I was so low to the table I needed a cushion to sit on just so I could eat...and even then its very uncomfortable to eat with dinosaur arms reaching up to your food. I was at least 20cm too low amd felt like a kid. Why do high end restaurants do this??? Table was also rocky/unstable.

People can get good even great food anywhere in Sydney. What you re paying for at Glass is an experience, which fell flat. Even with a reservation the hostess restricted seating in an almost empty restaurant. The initial server (clearly not a server) was less than informed about bar and menu contents. Appearance is great, food is good wait staff is awesome, and it s all brought down by a pretentious front of the house.

I have been invited to quite a few customer lunch meetings at Glass Brasserie. In a city like Sydney, where dietary preferences are so diverse, I expected Glass Brasserie to feature more thoughtfully curated vegetarian dishes that could stand on par with their non-vegetarian selections. Instead, it felt like vegetarian options were an afterthought, and I ended up feeling somewhat restricted in my choices. I d love to see the restaurant embrace a broader approach to plant-based dining, adding a few hearty, inventive vegetarian mains to make the dining experience more inclusive. For vegetarians looking for a fine dining experience, Glass Brasserie may leave you craving more variety. However, if you re okay with limited options, the quality and presentation of their dishes are still worth experiencing.

Its my second visit and not as a hotel guest. There is a class ambience with great food and wine. I had their Steak Tartare for entree and Pork Loin for main. They were delightfully paired with a wonderful French Rose. The staff cared for us meticulously.

It was indeed a great experience celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary at the Glass Brasserie. Were very pleased by the way we were welcomed by the lady at the front door and by another male staff who took us to our table. Clavio and another female asian staff who served us were extemely nice, very accommodating. Clavios way of serving was excellent, as if hes serving his own family. The service was so fast and was beyond our expectation.Thanks for a very wonderful service. Our family enjoyed everything.

Overpriced and overrated, although the sommelier was really lovely! Chefs need to pull their head in - spend your money elsewhere - bread was burnt - scallops were uninteresting, bland - taramasalata came with about a teaspoon of taramasalata, ratio to the cucumbers was like 1:1000 - mushrooms were soggy, sad, bland. They tasted like how I cooked mushrooms for the first time ever (not knowing how). - duck was overcooked and tiny

Ok, so we did the high tea which is only on Saturday for maybe 2 hours? 2-4pm...but gosh was it indulgent. Honestly, tea was the least of it. If you go...ask for a sundae. Its not an extra cost but they cant bring it out with the trays of petit-fours. Id go back and pay the $70 or so a head just for the sundae. Everything was spot on and fab. Would recommend over the QVB high tea across the road.

I have been a loyal patron for over a decade, and I must say that the handmade gnocchi has consistently been my favourite dish. The soft and delicate texture, combined with the bursting flavours, is simply a delight for my taste buds. However, its not just the gnocchi that keeps me coming back. The entire dining experience, from the welcoming atmosphere to the attentive service, is always exceptional. Each visit is a reminder of why The Glass Brasserie holds a special place in my heart, and I truly treasure the delightful moments Ive experienced there.

Ok for the price but wouldn t come back. At a minimum a brasserie should know how to cook a medium rare steak. Mine was still mooing on the plate when it arrived. Majority blue, with patches of rare. The duck was practically flying off the plate and when it was sent back it came back overcooked, flavour was good though. At least the Fries and bread were good.

The food was amazing. We started with the cannellini bean humus with broccolini and sour dough bread. Then we had the Ulladulla flathead fish that had a corn and tortilla sauce. Unfortunately, the service was the worst that we have ever experienced. Our waiter struggled with English. I don t fault him for that, but even the manager couldn t completely describe the menu choices. It took 40 minutes from the time we finished our appetizer before our entrees came. My husband ordered a salad which never arrived. It took another 15 minutes to get the check even after complaining to the manager and the head server.

I ve lived in Sydney since 2014 and I can t believe I haven t been told about awesome restaurant. The restaurant is really well designed. It s classy and spacious yet comfortable, with the open kitchen so you can watch the action. There s a huge glass wine cellar right next to you as well. Very clean and tidy. Firstly I had the steak tartare as a starter. A solid 5/5. Faultless with a generous portion. Now, for mains I hardly ever order steak at a restaurant as I never get what I m looking for. However, I gave it a go and ordered the wagyu, and OMG!! I ve been to 46 countries around the world and I can honestly not recall having a steak this good. The wine was phenomenal as well. I had a French red and it was perfect for the steak. The highlight of the evening was the way Cindy looked after me from the time I arrived. I was having dinner alone and she made sure to engage and check up on me regularly whilst still running the show effortlessly. She s really fantastic. I will definitely go back and if I ever have to organise a steak night out, this is where I ll be for sure, 100%.

I only had breakfast here related to my stay at the Hilton. Impressive hot buffet with different choices every day. I would recommend to go as early as you possibly can get out of bed as it feels like the kitchen gets tired after 9.30 which btw is understandable. I was there in January during vacation time, so lots of hotels guests and the place was super busy. Great attentive staff that offers last round when the barista shut down the coffee machine.

Valentines 2024. 8pm seating, $200 per person. We had a drink at the bar, seated 8:15pm entree came just before 9pm. I think the bread and pasta was reasonable, wagyu steak with bone marrow butter was really delicious. I think for the money value not there, service just too slow. Restaurant itself was very comforting, tall ceilings and mood lighting really sets up a special evening. Loved the atmosphere.

I came twice for breakfast and enjoyed both meals. The oatmeal was simple, but the caramelised banana added sweetness and the toasted almonds lifted the texture. My omelette was also delicious. The setting is beautiful - spacious, airy and calm. Its a wonderful place to start the day. My only complaint was that the service was slow. I had to actively flag down staff. Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian breakfast options Dietary restrictions: Accommodating for dietary restrictions Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is tranquil and may not be appropriate for children

Cheap service at premium prices. Service has dropped drastically since the COVID restrictions. You have to call the waiters back several times just to get a drink and then wait unreasonably for food. The floor staff (starting with the child manager) are clearly not at a level to match the prices or the reputation of the chef. Third strike and they re out.

Friendly and attentive staff, but my partner and I were left underwhelmed by the food, especially for the price. The bread starters were tough and served with a somehow dull olive oil. We got the scallops for an entree, and whilst the sauce was nice, the scallops themselves lacked much flavour and didnt taste overly fresh. I got the duck ravioli as a main and for $50 I was extremely disappointed. The ravioli was overcooked and served in an exceptionally bland broth. My partner got the beef sirloin which was a nice cut of meat, but was overly seared on the outside to the point of being burnt, giving the dish an unpleasant aftertaste. A good selection of wines and cocktails, at fairly standard Sydney prices. I was glad to have $50 off our bill since we were staying at the hotel, but our meal still came to $130, which could have gotten us a much nicer meal elsewhere.

Walked in and the older man who was working the restaurant portion of the area was quite rude - greeted us and told us we can sit anywhere but after we found a table and went to sit he moved us somewhere else. Once we were seated this man came over again and snatched the wine menu out of my partners hand as he was reading. After that experience we decided to move to the other end of the area to be served by a lovely woman - that is the only reason why this review isn t 1 star. While the place was lovely the rude man working tonight made sure that this will be the only visit we make to this bar/ restaurant.

We went for drinks only and the bar tender did not know how to do certain drinks. On top of this the only waitress had a problem with priorities, ran around without any plan and cleaned empty tables several times and forgot to wait guests over it. Tables are old and worn out. All in all a disaster. They belong to the Hilton Hotel which is even more embarassing. Never again.

The food is not bad actually, everything a little too salty maybe. The worst was the service, unattentive, had to ask several times for a water refill or if I can please order another drink. Drinks took forever, the bar is too busy tonserve both bar area and dining area. The waitress spilled parts of one of our drinks on herself and did not even realize it. The worst is they add a 10% service charge, which I would not have given them normally, given the very bad service. Not recommended.

Arrived at 4:45 and asked if food was being served at 5pm - got told no food is already being served so I ordered the $28 burger. Not alot of other tables were eating but it took over 30mins for the burger to arrive. Was a little overcooked for my liking, unsure if they forgot about it while cooking or if thats the standard. Not in a rush to return.

Incredible Full breakfast spread (if you re staying at the Hilton and are a Diamond member- be sure to upgrade to the full breakfast for 10AUD! It s worth it!) We enjoyed made to order Salmon Eggs Benedict, smashed avocado, over easy eggs and beautiful cappuccinos! Now let s talk about what s on the buffet! Fresh fruits (included white pineapple and fresh figs!), fresh smoothies and juices, Bircher muesli, cold cuts, chia seed pudding, yogurt and toppings. Hot bar included bacon, meats, sautéed mushrooms, congee, veggie dumplings and more! Then there was the bread station full of fresh baked breads, baguettes, Viennoiserie, spreads (including Nutella and Vegemite!). Not sure why others have given sub par reviews on this breakfast selection. It s delicious and the ambiance inside the Glass Brasserie is phenomenal!

We had breakfast there this morning What a Disappointment Let s start with the Bacon: it was cold hard and no flavour Poached eggs: look like they d been microwaved in plastic bags no flavour at all Sausages: chicken and pork by eating a chicken one and then a pork one you couldn t tell which was the chicken an which was the pork very sad experience 1/4/2023

This is now a second review. I have had to edit the first review as, for some reason, I cannot add a second review. First of all, I want to compliment the restaurant with regard to the service. It was simply perfect. The ambience was wonderful and the food was unquestionably good. The wine list is one of the most extensive that I have ever encountered in a restaurant. I would need years to explore it but there is no doubt that you will find a wine to enjoy here. The food was no less impressive. The signature desert of the licorice parfait is not to be missed but the other deserts are good too. This time we booked the night in the Hilton Hotel so the dinner could be relaxed and there was no worries about passing a breathalyzer on the way home. Well done to everyone, we had a memorable experience for our joint birthdays.

Food was outstanding. AJ, who served us, was very friendly and excellent. We enjoyed our dinner here. Very pram friendly too. The restaurant is located inside the hilton. I went up the lift with the pram and was there. They made space for the pram. No complaints! Everything was excellent. I enjoyed the kingfish and prawns for the entrees.

The venue was truly impressive, with stunning decor and attentive wait staff. Our waiter Karin was so nice and friendly This restaurant ranks among the best I have ever visited. I highly recommend it. I was blown away by the incredible flavors of the food - the wagyu sirloin was cooked to perfection with a beautiful char and caramelized onions, the gnocchi was light and fluffy bursting with flavor, and the creme brulee was just the right amount of sweet and crispy on top. The truffle chips were so crispy and tasted amazing The wine selection was also impressive with a wide variety to choose from. In addition to the excellent food and drink, the staff were all incredibly friendly and had a great sense of humor. I cant wait to come back and try more dishes. We were also able to enjoy a 50% discount on our meal by booking through First Tables - definitely worth checking out for more great deals on dining experiences.

Glass Brasserie team, I would like to express my disappointment over the service I had Friday 5th of May 2023. The service was extremely inattentive and even the floor manager was oblivious. Our whole table of 5 were left to sit there for ages without even a food menu, and no one came. We had to stand up twice to ask for table service. Extremely extremely disappointed with Hilton as this restaurant sits in a flagship 5 star hotel. I would not be visiting again.

December 23, 2023

The service was very poor, and the table was constantly having to ask for orders/requests several times. On 2 occasions the drinks orders came incorrectly. For a wine bar the staff were not able to provide any information on the actual wines available.. 3 of the main Steak options were not available (despite us being 8pm on a Saturday night) - we only found out that this was the case 15 minutes after we had already ordered the food. General standard of food was pretty poor for the price that was paid. Despite being a nice decor/venue. The menu was overpriced & generally a poor experience. Would not recommend.

Unbiased review. Went for degustation 5 course meal for 3 people. The Pan Seared Scallops & Hiramasa Kingfish Sashimi, Black Angus beef fillet MB2+ was the highlight of the night. The rest of meal was mediocre. Asked for Chicken parfait and the waiter was clueless. After asking the third time then he realised what we wanted. Nevertheless The Glass Brasserie has lost its standard. Will not be returning anytime soon.

A nice place for having lunch. The venue was huge but was quiet when we went. It s nicely decorated with high ceiling and wine bars. We had few entrees to share. Started with oysters and kingfish ceviche. We also had steak tartare and grilled prawns. I d recommend the oysters, very nice. Prawns wasn t bad either. For main I had wagyu steak medium rare. It was nice but the sauce lack of punch. Also there was part of my steak that chewy, couldn t cut it off perhaps tendon? Please order the truffle French fries. It was lovely. Unlike most of chips with sprinkle of truffles on top, the chips tasted like they ve been infused with truffles. Very delicious and enjoyable. I d give that 5 stars. The wine selection was a lot and our cab sav was nice companion. Our lady server was friendly, efficient and warmth with lovely smile. She made the dining experience pleasant and relaxing.

Unfortunately, the food was not up to my standard, and it took a while for all the meals to come out. The set menu didnt have many options to choose from, and I had to eat vegetarian food..I was highly disappointed that there was a limited selection of meat. We were not impressed by any of the desserts either..though everything looked fancy on the menu, but when it came out on a plate, it did not satisfy our tastebuds. Its super expensive, too. It was a one-off experience, but we would not be going back there again. The service was amazing..we were well looked after by all staff members and the atmosphere along with the comfort is super friendly.. the vibe was absolutely fantastic in this place ..but as mentioned the biggest let down was the food.
